WHAT IS THE EVENT ABOUT?
Bratislava inline skating is a summer event that takes place every Friday evening during the summer holidays since 2004 (under the condition that there is good weather). It organizes cross city rides on roller skates (and bicycles) and the event is suitable for everyone regardless of age. The year 2020 is the 17th year of the summer roller parade in Bratislava – free and no registrations needed!

This event has some easy rules to be kept:

At every inline event there are police, medical personnel and the inline team who provide instructions, manage the flow of participants and always have the right of way during the skate. The „Inline Team“ will take care of your safety and will keep the event going. You can recognize the guys from the team easily – they will be wearing orange reflective vests.
